The World’s Most Outstanding Blogs-2007 December 14, 2007

It’s great to be back after a blogging hiatus.

Despite being swamped by work, I managed to keep track of some of my favourite blogs and keep in touch with some dear blogger pals. But, voila I’m back.

Troy Worman has come up with an amazing treat this season – the Outstanding Blogs Meme that seeks to recognize some of the coolest blogs and bloggers on this planet. Thank you Troy for including me in the fold. It feels great to be back ‘home’.

That’s me holding the Formula-1 Petronas Malaysian GP Trophy, but let’s just assume that’s the O! Blog Trophy for time being.

Check out Troy’s complete post HERE.

Here are some of my favourite Outstanding Blogs. (A work in constant ‘beta’ progression)

Outstanding Blogs-1: Creators of ‘The Age of Conversation‘

All these bloggers are co-authors of ‘The Age of Conversation‘. What is amazing about this community is that despite being marketing / communications pros in different parts of the world, they are connected by a common passion for social media, a flair for conversation and a desire to make a difference. Some of them are gearing up for a meet-up in April 2008 at New York. Watch out for the Blogger Social’08.

More Outstanding Blogs via C.B. Whittemore’s Blog. I look forward to exploring a few of these blogs in the days to come. Most of these blogs are very new to me… so it would be great if you also write a line describing your blog, if you are leaving a comment on this post. Might attract new readers to your blog!
